The Design

Playful, corresponding color-blocks, a granite-stitch detail, a rolled brim, and an I-cord knotted at the top—this little beanie is pretty cute for a grown-up, and even cuter for a little one. So, with this free pattern, we’ve given you instructions on how to make a matching set! The Mommy & Me Beanies are a perfect quick knit for you and your kiddo, or for friends!

These two toppers were knit in lightweight, oh, so soft Rowan Cotton Wool—a beautiful worsted-weight blend of organic cotton and merino wool. Cotton Wool’s chainette-style strand gives structure to this airy, breathable fiber combo. It has just the right feel for these beanies—comfy, cuddly, and hypoallergenic!
